The first one is the straight lined, black satin gown with a beautiful low-cut back, which was worn with long, black satin gloves, large tortoiseshell Oliver Goldsmith sunglasses reminiscent of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer model, a Tiffany necklace of strands of pearls and diamante hair ornament. The couturier designed two sleeveless black dresses for the film. Her wardrobe is simple, elegant, iconic, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the movie that, in 1961, consecrated the black sheath dress. “I’m an introvert… Playing the extroverted girl in Breakfast at Tiffany’s was the hardest thing I ever did.” She and Hubert de Givenchy teamed up again for Blake Edward’s romantic comedy, after Sabrina (1954). Even if that’s all I can contribute”, said Audrey. But Breakfast at Tiffany’s was still a very modern film for 1961, and Audrey was funny yet moving, sexy yet vulnerable, elegant yet vibrant in her role. It was a welcome change after her princess and chauffeur’s daughter parts she had played in the past, even though Holly Golightly’s character was softened for the screenplay. Now we can not think of Holly Holightly but as played by Audrey.
Truman Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe for the role.
